Folder Redirection and Windows 7

-

hi,

we decided start test windows 7 on network couple of weeks ago. moved our support department across no initial problems using existing home drives, folder redirection settings , roaming profiles.

however, when came creating new account have had persistent issues folder redirection.

if user logs vista, works intended. documents points \\server1\home$\username\documents etc...

if a user logs windows 7 following happens - \\server1\home$\username created account, upon first logon "applying folder redirection policy..." creates folders in share mentioned. when go users folder on start menu or desktop of subfolders (documents, pictures, videos, favourites etc...) point c:\users\username...

event viewer shows logs suggest folder redirection has no issues, event info below.

"successfully applied policy , redirected folder "documents" "\\server1\home$\username\documents". redirection options=0x80009001."

when manually navigate \\server1\home$\username from troublesome windows 7 machine can save files no issues.

if log account in vista, evereything intended, folder redirection applies, event viewer agrees, can navigate users folder , areas point to\\server1\home$\username.

how can be?

server info - server 2008r2 dc, server 2003 functional level, server 2003r2 storage edition profile / home drive's. current updates etc...

any \ suggestions \ ideas great have spent 2 full working days working on this.

many thanks,

simon roberts

turned out following group policy setting

"computer configuration\policies\administrative templates\windows components\windows explorer\verify old , new folder redirection targets point same share before redirecting"

once "not configured" returned normal.

oclist have qualifiers? can behaviour changed, example output xml?   given previous comments andrew m , comments in forums , blogs think answer no, it’s simple app calling underlying api, thought i'd ask can't seem find anything.   why asking question? i'd @ least 2 things oclist (apart nicer looking output [which i'm not going get], dependances listed [dicussed in forum , ruled out], , refrushing add ad componets , telling use dcpromo [which in banner know]): - whether installing component cuase / require reboot (currently believe qwave , printing services require reboot)   - xml output, can't justify team looking see if can commality with full server   fwiw :j   hi,   oclist not have qualifiers or ways change output. when iis came in late, make oclist output longer, unfortunately late make significant changes.   i'll take feedback , add our list next version.   thanks,   andrew   ...
